Mother's Day Bangle

For Mother's Day this year, I knew I wanted to wear my lovely Pandora Circle of Love Bangle that I received last year. Initially I thought I would try and add my Dragon and Tiger dangles to represent my trollings, but 2 dangles on a bangle, just doesn't work for me.

Violas and Pansies

Hot on the heels of Earth day comes Arbor Day. In the past at work, we have gotten pine tree seedlings. This year, we got violas and pansies. Not trees, but I think it is still in the spirit of Arbor Day.

Jelly Bean Bracelet

Today is Earth Day and National Jelly Bean Day. At work we celebrated this day by handing out jelly beans and having a lucky drawing for reusable lunch bags, LED bulbs and a Smart Power Strip (automatically shuts off when not in use).

Don't worry the cups containing the jelly beans are meant to be reused for future treats, to reduce packaging waste.

Easter Bracelet

I made this bracelet as a reminder of His sacrifice.

Black for His death and the Red for His blood, that ran from His brow from his crown of thorns and where the nails pierced His hands.

My First Faerybeads

A couple of days ago, I got my very first Faerybeads. A Faerybead Leopard Lock and a beautiful Findë bracelet chain. I thought it would be fun to take a picture of the contents of my package as shown below.

St. Patrick's Day Bracelet

Irish Blessing
May the Irish hills caress you,
May her lakes and rivers bless you,
May the luck of the Irish enfold you,
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

Chinese New Year / Valentine's Bracelet

Merry Christmas!

Twas the night before Christmas, when the trollings were in bed,
Mama Troll was relaxing and playing World of Warcraft instead,
All the presents were wrapped and placed under the tree,
Everything done, all this time just for me!

Happy Halloween!

It's Halloween! Time to dress up. Time to hand out candy. Time to have fun. So for most of this month, I had been wearing my Great Pumpkin Bracelet but on Halloween itself I was probably going to be a witch or a pirate and wanted something that would blend in a little more.

SOL - Tree of Life Antique Silver Finish Bangle Review

Some days, I just want something simple and light. Or when I'm in a hurry and don't want to have to worry too much about coordinating my charms. That's when I go for bangles or simple silver bracelets. Today I happen to be wearing the Novobeads SOL Tree of Life Bangle

Novobeads Silk Wraps Review

Light, airy and oh so beautiful. An alternative to metal or leather bracelets and a pop of color never hurts as well. Fun and flirty, I think it has a lovely Bohemian look to it.
